Private companies don't have to be corporations at all. If investors don't like the "double-taxation" problem, then drop the incorporation and use a different entity. Of course, they would loose the benefits of incorpora

Over the past 4 years, MSNBC spread conspiracy theories that the Russians "hacked" the 2016 election. Will their content also be taken down?

Indeed. Japan, S Korea, China, Hong Kong, and the rest of Asia operate world class rail systems. The idea that they don't care about safety is ignorant and racist.

A single car breaking down on a Bay Area toll bridge can bring the entire region to a stand-still. So the region's transportation authority runs a free tow service to keep bridges clear. It works very well.

It isn't surging. A company selling downloadable "legal templates" is claiming a 34% increase in sales. This is a clickbait PR stunt masquerading as news.

In many cases, they are "imprisoned" against their will because zoning does not permit any other kind of development. The other problem is they are not paying the full cost of the suburban lifestyle. It is only sustainable through

If Covid-19 does end up being a dud, then we are in real trouble if/when an actual pandemic arrives -- because by then everyone will say the CDC is Crying Wolf.

Everyone is going to get coronavirus regardless (the isolation measures just slow it down, not stop it). The UK calculated it is better for its citizens to go through that now, outside normal flu season when hospitals get more busy. And as

Looking at the application, Skip appears to have been screwed over on other categories too. They got a low score on "sustainability" even though they rebuild/repair broken scooters instead of throwing in the trash (like many

Don't be ridiculous. The US has no pedestrian safety standards whatsoever. In a sane world, the NHTSA would have outlawed bull bars and required trucks to have sideguards.

The US is not done with VW. The SEC has just filed a lawsuit against VW for lying to investors.
